Isn’t it about time we abandon a city 6ft below sea level?
Dear Editor
Georgetown is some 6ft below sea level with a myriad of problems including flooding.
Yet, successive Governments have seen it fit to pump money into Georgetown while the rural communities are cash starved.
How about moving our Capital inland into the interior to mitigate against flooding?
It is obvious that flooding will continue even more should sea level rises.
We now have the resources to move inland.
The alternative would be to decentralise development so that the rural communities benefit instead of wasteful spending on Georgetown. This will prevent the population drifting into Georgetown compounding its problems.
Time to abandon Georgetown.
Yours faithfully
Sean Ori
